- Brolaire15. Mai 2025Star Wars as a franchise has a complicated history. For many of my generation, it stood as peak Sci-Fi - the original movies were crowning achievements not only in special effects but also in characters and world-building. When word got out in the nineties that Lucas was returning to produce prequel movies, we were jazzed to put it lightly. Unfortunately, those movies for the most part critically fell flat at release, and only many years later, after the excrement of the Disney "final" trilogy, would we finally look back at how good we had it. Christopher Lloyd quit acting altogether because of how much he was made fun of. Hayden Christiansen got endless amounts of shit for how he portrayed adolescent Anakin - only very recently receiving the recognition he deserves. The mainstream of Star Wars always was rather simplistic thematically. Lucas famously said that he wrote these stories for his children. But with the Extended Universe content developed through the books, and later, some of the games, would Star Wars as a galaxy truly begin to flesh out and explore more realistic adult themes, characters, situations, and play in the grey much more than Lucas himself dared to. This is the era of Star Wars I loved that Disney killed. To say that I considered Star Wars dead is an understatement. The Mandalorian briefly rekindled hope for a time, but in many ways remained safe. Only Rogue One began to introduce this more gritty Star Wars some of us knew to the mainstream. Ask many non-fans what their favorite movie in the franchise is and they'll likely say Rogue One. Why? It leaned into themes of loss, sacrifice, and doing the right thing even when it's difficult. The ending, [won't spoil it here] is a bold narrative choice rarely seen in big-budget blockbusters, let alone Star Wars. It felt more like Saving Private Ryan or Black Hawk Down than a space opera, which appealed to more mainstream audiences. The lack of the iconic and fantasical elements of the franchise, namely the magic space wizards, are nonexistant, making the production more relatable and the protagonists feel more grounded. The movie was also largely self-contained. You didn't need to know anything about the franchise to understand and enjoy the movie. Like Rogue One, Andor doesn't require its audience to know Star Wars. It explores topics like authoritarianism, rebellion, propaganda, and what it means to resist evil from within a flawed system. It provides much more backstory to the events that led to Rogue One, and by extension, the original trilogy. Unlike Rogue One, it has so much more time to breathe, having and spending way more time introducing, developing, and intermingling its themes, its universe, and its complex characters. What appeals to me so much is, despite being a fan of the franchise, is that this story could exist in any other setting. It's objectively a great story - it just happens to be told using Star Wars as a backdrop. Given our current events and recent history, its story is all the more impactful and the gravitas of what happens that much more profound. Every single performance is exceptional, making it all the more incredible. "The death of truth is the ultimate victory of evil. When truth leaves us, when we let it slip away, when it is ripped from our hands, we become vulnerable to the appetite of whatever monster screams the loudest [...] the monster screaming the loudest, the monster we’ve helped create, the monster who will come for all of us soon enough." Never in my wildest years would I ever have expected Star Wars to hit quite like this. E x c e p t i o n a l.
- Hipster ZOMBIE15. Mai 2025"Patience you must have, my young Padawan." - Yoda Andor season two, like season one, is a very long slow burn that will force even long time Star Wars to have patience and pay very close attention. Payoffs in this show are far and few between but when they happen it’s amazing. The season continues to explore the rising tension of a galaxy slowly waking up to rebellion. It doesn’t rush. Instead, it lingers in dimly lit alleys, bureaucratic offices, and echoing prison halls — letting the dread of authoritarian rule sink in. The storytelling is patient and purposeful, building character arcs and political threads. The seeds of the Sith begin to take root in the Empire as political infighting begins to take hold. In the chaos a fractured rebellion begins to become an alliance against the Empire. But what truly sets Andor apart is its astonishing production value. The special effects are seamlessly woven into the practical sets and real-world locations. Every shot is rich with detail: grimy streets lit by flickering neon, sterile Imperial corridors, the wind-swept rock of alien landscapes — all grounded in realism and with a hefty budget costing 290 million, just for this season! But the world building that is created here would make George Lucas proud. Between Clone Wars, Rebels, and Andor, Lucasfilm has finally filled in the large gaps in the prequel era leading into the original trilogy. And then there’s the finale. Andor Season 2 ends not with a bang, but with a haunting clarity — bringing Cassian’s journey full circle and leading directly into Rogue One. It’s a seamless bridge, executed with emotional resonance and narrative precision. The final moments don’t just connect the dots; they elevate everything that came before, recontextualizing Rogue One as not just a war film, but the tragic culmination of a man who went from survivor to symbol. The final montage depicts the major players going forward and is sad to view as you know so many of them will die just before the igniting spark of the rebellion that will eventually burn down the Empire. Andor is more than lightsaber duels and space battles, it’s sci-fi espionage and backstabbing that might be some of the best ever seen on television if it didn’t move at such a slow pace. Patience is key when watching this Star Wars series.
- Lozin30. Oktober 2025Absolutely a must watch and the best Star Wars series to date
- Daniel Parrish13. Mai 2025Probably the best Star Wars show out there and I have enjoyed many of the others. The acting is great and the story really brings together a lot.
- Ty Leet27. April 2025Soooo far so good!
- bradleyanderson22. Oktober 2025Good storytelling and expansion of the Canon prior to the movies.
- Tarun reddy17. August 2025This is the best Star Wars you can watch right now.
- gord.652. August 2025Well done, 5 stars
- Zwackelmann17318. Juli 2025Peak. The best that Star Wars has ever been!
- Jagger Johnson4. Juli 2025Best thing since the prequels and maybe even originals.
- Daniel Morrish28. Juni 2025A certified masterpiece.
- Michael Morelli16. Mai 2025I dare say, one of the most compelling, sophisticated, and sincere narratives in the Star Wars Universe. Almost every character had so much depth and complexity. Andor manages to give a broader perspective on the earlier days of the Empire and how they rose to power. The brutal and gaudy Empire juxtaposed with the tenacity and stealth of the Alliance serves to lay the groundwork for the Empire's inevitable fall.
- Isabel Maina16. Mai 2025BEST THING TO COME OUT OF STAR WARS!!! holy crap this season was incredible, on top of an already stellar season 1. I don’t have anything bad to say about it. yeah the pacing was faster but I loved every single episode and how each set of three showed the escalation of the empire’s hold on the galaxy while at the same time the growth and determination of the resistance. the final episode was a great transition into the events of rogue one, which becomes a more emotional watch now knowing what cassius has gone through and done to carry out the mission in the movie. a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ season and a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ show. I may have to do a rewatch sooner than later…
- elblanco515. Mai 2025Masterpiece
- Kernel32_lyon15. Mai 2025Simply the best StarWars. First time that Disney produce something for the adults and not for the kids... Soundtrack is also very good. For sure I would be happy to see one more season, but finaly I prefer two perfects seasons, instead of 3 or more bad seasons.
